I did not anticipate our old provider axing our e-mail accounts without notice.

Yep, the Farmer canceled our old provider yesterday. They didn't take it well.

This morning, guess what, no e-mail. Zero. Zippo. Nada. No notice. No warning. No "Thank you for the last 15 years of allowing us to serve you, please be notified we will close your existing e-mail accounts within 48 hours, 2 weeks, 1 month, etc."

When I got my new hotspot and called to cancel my old provider, they told me that my old email account (with their name as the @_.net) would no longer exist and was I sure I wanted to cancel. Since I knew this, I'd already exported all my contacts to my new gmail account and saved my important emails to a Word document.

I wonder if they told the Farmer and he just assumed you'd already saved everything? That's what the Autoworker would have assumed here. Sorry you lost all your contacts. But you will be very happy with no longer being on dialup!

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams
